A procession moves through a festive outdoor setting beneath colourful umbrellas and a canopy with multicoloured panels and hanging crystal ornaments. At the centre, a smiling bearded man wears a rust-red turban, a thick pink-and-white flower garland, heavy gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold bangles and a red-brown robe, with white tilak on his forehead; he raises one hand in greeting. Around him, several men and women in saffron and maroon robes stand with white body markings and rudraksha malas, some with palms pressed together in anjali. Devotees in red, pink and white saris and kurtas line the route, many with hands folded, watching the procession.
